Well, one thing I asked about doing with the materials system was tiling a texture so that you could use 1/4 of a shockwave in place of one big image. IIRC Bobb said "yes, but later".

I cared only until I got in game and blew some **** up.  Destroyed all enemy ships, all friendly ships and seriously considered coding in a suicide key just to see the damn thing again.  

It's just plain magic and probably the best use of any graphic used in the game.  I can easily forgive 95 frames when something like that gets created.  


NOTE:  The previous sentence is not an invitation for all of you art freaks to go creating pretty animations to get off the hook for 90+ frame animations.  I am a code monkey and I will modify the game code to BSOD your computers specifically.

To which blue shockwave are you referring, the first or second set DaB released? (curious)

[J.P.]

I haven't checked this out in game yet but, DaBrain, what program did you use?

I could probably make my own explosion animation in Adobe After Effects like I did with the subspace vortex. I'll have to try that sometime.

BTW the screenshots look awesome.

The main aniamtion is done in MAX, but the largest part is done in Photoshop.

I think I could have done it completely with PS, but I'm lazy.

@Ulala: The second set is what I like the best.

Someone needs to implement that "use only 1/4 of the shockwave for texture" thing.
